Barua sees foul play in RMG sector

The industries minister here yesterday termed the violence in different factories of Chittagong Export Pro-cessing Zone (CEPZ) on Saturday and Sunday as premeditated.
“A section committed the two-day rampage to destroy the prevailing stable situation and tarnish the country's image,” Dilip Barua told reporters.
He met the press after a meeting with the district administration, CEPZ officials and the owners of the factories in the zone.
Primary and Mass Education Minister Afsarul Ameen was also present at the meeting.
Both the ministers criticised the authorities of Youngone Corporation for closing all the units of the group on Saturday without any discussion with Bepza.
They said such closure of factories made workers angry, resulting in a violent unrest.
Afsarul Ameen said Sunday's violent rampage could have been avoided if the Youngone factories were not declared closed.
